There are a few good singers around today who can sing those classic numbers ( we've heard them, ) but ideas of good songs today and the way they are sung have changed.

We are also grateful to John and feel lucky to be able to remember some of those talented singers. They had the advantage of the best songwriters and arrangers too.

Robert, pleased you liked the dvd, it was quite a while ago since I sent that to you.
Also grateful to you Lena and Harry for all you have sent me, especially the singers I had never listened to before and now am such a big fan of, examples Jerry Vale and Jimmy Roselli.

There is no doubt that we have learned a lot about many other singers and musicians and ( still learning ) since going on line. It's an encyclopaedia of information, and we also have to thank those of you on the forum who have kindly sent us some wonderful stuff over a long period of time and boosted our music library .

Re: What Movies Have Been Playing On Your DVD/Video Lately?
I agree with you Lena and Harry. 
Re: What Movies Have Been Playing On Your DVD/Video Lately?
I think it is amazing how we have all learned so much about music from each other--different singers, new songs.

Mariana, that's the beauty of this site is we all learn from each other. Though we may not agree it's friendly banter.
Tonight my Mom and I were watching "The Way We Were" with Barbra and Robert Redford. My Dad was just rolling his eyes and went to their room to watch boxing!!

Watched "Double X -The Name Of The Game" last night, this starred Norman Wisdom and Bernard Hill. Great film.

I brought back the second season of Benson from the States and have just finished watching it.
A very funny show but there was such a long gap between the release of Seasons 1 and 2.

Yesterday I watched Gone Baby Gone with Morgan Freeman, near the end a certain four letter word was used which I detest but it came so unexpectedly and the way it was phrased had me choking with laughter and shock! The character who used the word was reprimanded by her husband!!!

Anxiously waiting to receive all 4 series of The Armstrong/Miller Show, and Downton Abbey Series 3. I think Armstrong/Miller are hillarious and as for Downton, OMG I can't wait until January which is when they show it here. LOL
Re: What Movies Have Been Playing On Your DVD/Video Lately?
We have a Christmas special of Downton to look forward to too! 
Re: What Movies Have Been Playing On Your DVD/Video Lately?
I want to see that one also Marian. My Mum and I are big fans!! I didn't tell her about Lady Sybil though. Dad is only interested in the Free Bates plot
Re: What Movies Have Been Playing On Your DVD/Video Lately?
I tried again with this show, at the beginning of the new series--but I still cannot get into it--to me, nothing can compare to "Upstairs Downstairs"
